  Hi Kevin:

  If you want to change your custom domain (kevinbrown5951.com), you have 48-hours from purchase to cancel the registered name for a full refund. Then, you can register the domain name you’d like.

  If we cancel your newly-registered domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again once canceled.

  If you want to keep using your domain but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > My Domains in your dashboard.

  For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

  However, if you don’t want this domain at all, you can cancel it for a full refund if you purchased it within the last two days. To cancel the domain, go to Store > My Upgrades in your dashboard. Locate the domain you want to cancel in the list, and click on the Cancel and Refund link near to it.

  This cannot be undone, so please follow the on-screen instructions carefully before you confirm the cancellation.

  If you want to change the name of your WordPress.com site (kevinbrown5951), here are the instructions:

  Finally, if you’re not certain about the difference between your custom domain name, and your WordPress.com site name, this may help:

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
